Country's space reforms are not aimed at privatising Isro, says chairman

Isro will be able to better utilise its resources in taking up capacity building and developmental activities, he adds

Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman K Sivan on Thursday said that the country’s space reforms are not aimed at privatisation of Isro, as claimed by a section of people.
 

Addressing a Webinar on 'Unlocking India's Potential in the Space Sector', Isro chairman K Sivan said, “I want to say again that this won’t mean that Isro is being privatised. That is a misconception and I want to assure you that Isro will continue to work as it has been.”
 

Isro will be able to better utilise its resources in taking up capacity building and developmental activities, he added.
